Beneath the Dust

Duties of man have come so abroad

We must just get by to live yet feel unalive so soon.

What happened to being able to go out and find enjoyment naturally?

We must pay to have fun now? 

Beneath the Dust the Lust, the Greed, and the evil is gone.

There is love, truth, forgiveness, we know the unknown.


We have forgotten what we are, what we are supposed to do

We all fight to get more power but no one ever makes it through

What do we do? We hurt, we kill, we seek power through this…thrill?

Why do we sit here and take it? We won’t stand and make it?

We will make them listen, they want nothing but your will

I refuse to go beneath the dust to escape.

I will not Just get by, we will lead a revolution like none before

We can save our world through peace not war.

Why feed our brothers and sisters of nature our garbage?

We are not alpha, we are equal, we are natural, the world deserves peace.

Don’t you say you need a break? Do you need peace? We are the worlds mind

We give the world no peace. I won’t sit here and take it, I will stand and make it. 

Alone I may be than alone I shall be.

We are nature, why do we mistreat it as if we are something so much better. We make mistakes but we must take responsibility for the destruction we have caused on this planet. We must fix what we have destroyed. Nature, Love, Peace.
